The half-smile technique gets the most eye-rolls of anything we teach. Fake a smile, then keep cutting the effort. People tell us it's too gimmicky to work on them. Then it does.

In one of the public traces, we see an agent encounter the following warning in a README.md. The agent ignored the warning and instead altered the file, adding a malicious configuration change in the header that directs the system to load a malicious file.

i dunno man, kinda seems to me like the AI-scared people say "superintelligence could kill everybody" and people go "why do you think that" and then they give like 10 arguments and then people go "well i didn't read those so you have no evidence"

Apparently this was written by gpt sol, which would make it probably the best instance of AI writing I've ever come across Green text format seems to help In any case, hilarious takedown of EA

When I first started thinking about ai-risk, i was like 'ok, these arguments seem pretty good. But let me hear the arguments from the opposing side'. To my gradually growing horror, i realized almost all the opposing side arguments were mostly just social pressure or mockery.

this isn't really metaphorical at all btw. it's not like "oh yeah a crowd is an organism." no, beehives reproduce as a whole. they're literally the unit of replication
you are an organism made of organisms a beehive is an organism made of organisms made of organisms

the antidote to longtermism is certainty discounting reduce the value of your target by 10% for every bit of complexity your plan involves, since you are probably wrong about 1/10 bits. done.
The antidote to longtermism is geographic discounting. At a 5% discount rate, anyone 50 metres away from me is worth 8.7% of me . At 100m, it’s 0.76%. 200m, it’s basically nothing: 0.00527%. This also encourages people to be around me, which means more friends.

alternately, presume a minimal step in a plan takes like 8 bits and just halve its value for each step a person you can help with a one-step plan is worth 500 people you can help with a ten-step plan

The roundworm has a brain, 302 neurons, tiny but real. A Dileptus has none. It's a single cell. No brain, no nerves, nothing. Yet both turn, back up, poke around, change their minds. If a single cell can explore with no brain, where does intelligence actually live?

it goes the other way too. genes are the fundamental repicators. a cell is itself a massive interconnected team, complete with game theory and defectors (selfish genetic elements)

outer womb bf, inner dick gf
This psychoanalytic idea that men are compensating for their lack of a womb is bs. Historically, men create the OUTER womb – the environment (shelter, protection, food, reliability, etc) that will form the child. The woman says: "I will undertake an enormous, irreversible biological investment." Meanwhile, the man says: "I will alter the external world for our child to thrive." The outer womb. Men will start a renaissance, invent new technology, build an entire civilization, for the child to thrive. (This is no longer about sex at birth. These days, a female-bodied person can adopt the masculine role just fine.) If you're a man and you're messed up inside, it may be that you're not playing your role. Maybe you're not working on any projects that are contributing to an outer womb. Or maybe you're working on such projects, but they're shrines to your own glory rather than offerings to the children of the future.
